Nulldc Hyperlaunch Blackscreen

[zaktallica]

Ok using nulldc with hyper launch is pissing me off. Seems like every game or so it HL will lose focus with nulldc. When you launch a game you can here it booting up but all you see is the vmu windows pop up and that's it. Out side HS it works fine. Anyone got a 100% way of having nulldc launching through HS now with no crashes or black screens?

If HL keeps breaking for you, it's due to you changing things in the HyperLaunch script.

Also make sure you run the emulator at the same resolution as HS and FullScreen.

As for the VMU windows popping up, that's a configuration of the emulator problem and also due to the Emulator NOT running fullscreen.

Voila. HL isn't the cause of this problem from how you described it.

[edit]
Backup your configs and HL script before making any mods each time if it works fine. This will save you tons of headaches. :P

Id make sure your NullDC.CFG is set to read only after making those above changes. I dontseem to have the issues you describe.

[zaktallica]

Ok well that seems to be working for now.. I noticed while play games that the controls would get messed up. Like ikagura would not let me shoot while moving and marvel vs capcom after some fighting/button smashing my guy would keep hopping up and down or walk forward non stop by its self. Any suggestions?

[SophT]

sounds like you have a control mapped to your 'alt' key. nullDC doesn't like that.

[zaktallica]

Yes I do and me and brian used the ahk to work around that..Sighh so there is no way to use the alt key with nulldc without it messing up?

[SophT]

what's your ahk script look like, and what key are you sending instead?

[zaktallica]

;
; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x
; Language: English
; Platform: Win9x/NT
; Author: A.N.Other <myemail@nowhere.com>
;
; Script Function:
; Template script (you can customize this template by editing "ShellNew\Template.ahk" in your Windows folder)
;

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

LShift::v
LCTRL::l
LAlt::b

So heres the script im using V L B are what Nulldc is using as the input my im using shift etc on my x-arcade. So is there any way to make this work with out messing up? If not then I guess I will need tp remap custom keys for the x arcade.

[SophT]

did a theme for DC ever get released? I've seen vid previews but not an actual release...

[zaktallica]

Ok I decided to just reprogram my xarcade and now im getting this DAMN black screen again...First I erased the launch remap .exe from my ahk them remapped my keys in null dc and now im getting a crappy black screen with vmu's popping up.. Heres my settings:

[SophT]

did you remember to recompile?

and does nulldc support direct mounting of cdi images?

[zaktallica]

Yes I did recompile. When I launch a game in HS I hear the dreamcast starting up but get nothing but black..UGHH I fixed my controller issue completely but now im back to HL giving me issues..

[chrismox]

I had the same problem with the black screen.

I simply re-installed NullDC (only took a minute or so) and problem solved.

Maybe worth a try...?

You've got to be a lot more specific than that.
